Wake up. They can be fed immediately in their kennels between 6-7 am - use 1/3c (red scoop). Put a little water on top of Izzy’s to slow her down.

Dinner. 5-6 pm: same as morning!

Nighttime Snack. 9:30-10:00 pm: put them outside one last time for the night and give them a snack in small ceramic bowls (I just use the bowl and scoop the food into it - filling it to the top). The bowls can stay in their kennels, or you can take them out. Up to you.

Water. Use the water bottle on the counter next to the washer/dryer to fill their bowl. The water bowl is next to the washer/dryer. I wash the bowl out every couple of days since they eat dirt outside and then leave it in the bowl - GROSS!

Morning routine: feed in their kennels. Make sure gates are closed. After breakfast, they can go outside together or separately - but it's best if you go outside with them - if they are unattended, they will do naughty shit to get your attention. If you want them to expend energy before you leave for work, let them run together. If you want to make sure they pee and poop before you leave, send them out separately with the lead on.

Evening routine: After they eat, you can let them out together to play. We always go outside with them to make sure they don't do anything stupid (like eat plants, dirt, dig, or kill bunnies).

They will ring the bell if they need to go pee or poop - usually 30 minutes after eating.

If you have any issues with them, one can go in the X-pen, while the other is outside. Sometimes we play with them separately so they get some special time.

If they get grouchy with each other, grab 2 yak cheese bones (top drawer of kennel buffet), turn on puppy tv, and sit on the floor with them. If that doesn't work (it usually does) - put their leads on them in the house. They know when leads are on, its training time and they listen better.

Bedtime routine: Around 9:30-10:00 pm, we put them outside, separately, using the lead (easier to catch them if you have to, and they usually do their business and come right back). Then, you can put their little white, ceramic snack bowls in their kennels with them. You can leave them in their until morning or take them out if they are playing with them. They usually sleep 8 hours.

They will always ring the bell if they need to go outside (but beware - they will ring the bell just to go outside to play too - so it isn't a perfect system).

Smaller, red-tipped ears, and much lighter than Izzy.

If you want Winnie to do her business quickly, put the lead on her. If you have time and want to let her run, just let her outside without it.

She loves playing ball and gives lots of kisses.

Her tummy is a little sensitive, so if she goes too long between feedings, she may snub her food. If that happens, just give her some treats from the barn and try giving her breakfast or dinner in 10-15 minutes.

She does not like being kenneled when people are home and will chew her blanket, bed, or pad. So if you need to put her away while you are home, use the X-pen.

Always kennel them when you leave for the day and for bedtime.

They love to play fetch - but make them leave it for you so you don't get chewed on. Then, make them wait - ready - go!

Izzy has red ears, and a toasted marshmallow face. She is a little thicker than Winnie (no fat shaming in this house).

She loves to chew on the yak cheese bones and will demolish it in one sitting - take it from her when she gets it down to 1" - toss in trash.

If you want Izzy to do her business quickly, put the lead on and let her drag it around outside. The leads signal that it isn't playtime. If you have extra time and want to let her play, you can put her out without the lead.

She loves to sit in your lap and chew her bone while watching puppy tv.

She loves all the snacks - make her sit and wait for them so she takes them nicely.

Breakfast: 6-7 am, she gets 1/3 can of cat food (in the same drawer as dog food). We just put the lid on it and put it in the fridge. Apparently, she enjoys cold food (eww).

Litter: We clean the litter every morning after feeding the kids. It is in the office between the desk and the closet. The scoop and bags are under the desk in a wicker basket. You can toss the bag in the dog poop bucket outside.

Dinner: 5-6 pm, she gets another 1/3 of the can of cat food.

Snack: 9:30-10:00 pm, she gets the final 1/3 of the can. When she is done, wash her bowl out so it is ready for morning.

NOTE: Check the back bedroom (our room) daily to make sure she hasn't puked on the bed. She hasn't puked in a few weeks, but it has been known to happen.

She is a demanding cat, so if she is making a lot of noise, it is usually because she is hungry. You can give her a tablespoon of food in between feedings if needed.

She might crawl into bed with you at night - hope that's ok.

We clean her litter every morning after breakfast. The litter is in the office in the big blue tote. The scoop and bags are to the right, under the desk. You can put the bag of goodies in the dog bucket at the back of the house or in the trash under the sink if it is Wednesday, since trash goes out that day.

Before putting them out in the morning, feed them in their kennels.

We use the X-pen when we are home and either eating and don't want to fight off the puppies or when we shower or are not able to watch them. Unattended, they get into some mischief. We usually toss some small treats into the pen, open the door and they run right in. Feel free to use the X-pen anytime you need a break or want to give attention to one pup at a time.

After they eat breakfast, they can go outside to do their business. They can go out together. You will want to go out with them to watch and make sure they both pee. Once they do that, they can come back inside. With the kitchen and hallway gates closed, they can roam around and play.

They will ring the bell when they have to go poop. I would put them out separately (on a lead) to poop or they get distracted and forget what they are supposed to do.

It's usually 30-45min after they eat. If Winnie goes behind the shed, it is safe to assume she pooped. Izzy doesn't mind an audience, but Winnie is a little more bashful.

The red button turns the tv on - make sure you are pointing it directly at the lower left corner of the tv. We have most streaming services so help yourself. Puppy TV is on Youtube. I have several saved in my subscriptions, but you can also do a search if you want. We sometimes leave on the nature channel for them during the day when we are working. The TV makes the house pretty hot, so if it is really hot outside, you might want to skip the nature channel. LOL!

# data[].attributes.body
In the late afternoon or early evening, they can get pretty rowdy. If you want them to settle, put on some Puppy TV, sit on the floor with them, and give them each a Yak bone (in the kennel buffet top drawer). They will usually settle right down for you.

If you feel so inclined, the poop shovel is in the backyard next to the brown poop bucket. The girls usually poop on the left and right fence rows - however Izzy sometimes drops a couple randomly in the middle of the yard. Sorry!
